As you may have heard us mention before, there’s now five different project teams working on Total War games here at CA (and that doesn't include the team who made Alien: Isolation, they are currently working on Halo Wars 2).

But with all that’s going on, how can we help you keep track of what’s coming up next in the Total War universe?

Well, we thought we’d start keeping a post up-to-date with what each Total War team is currently working on, and you can see a short summary on each below. There are some important things to bear in mind though:We can’t always say exactly what titles are being developed because games might not be announced yet, and we need to remind everyone that plans always change in development and that can lead to titles being altered, moved or even cancelled. So this post should always be taken as subject to change.

We’d like to be able to tell you more about what’s going on behind the studio doors, and this is part of that, but if we see this is overly upsetting or confusing people, then we’ll drop it and think of something else.

The studio staff working on each team varies over time as the production ramps up/down or enters different stages of development. Not all teams are equal in size, and staffers will move between projects as they are needed.

I will update it as often as I can, and I might lock or heavily moderate the comments in this thread in the future, just so that people can see better when it is updated. You can always start another thread if you’d like to discuss the update.

So with that said, what are we currently working on?

Arena Team – Total War: ARENAGame Director - Gabor BeressyARENA is our free-to-play massed battle strategy game, currently in Closed Beta. With thousands of TW fans already helping the team test balance, map design and progression, you can register your interest too if you haven’t already by signing up here: www.totalwar.com/arena . It’s been a real experience for the team so far, and player feedback has been enormously important in defining the ongoing development of the title. Right now the team are figuring out how to implement some big changes and feature additions to bring the title closer to Open Beta. Stay tuned to the forums, the dedicated Total War: ARENA Facebook page and Twitter for more news.

Kingdom Team – Total War Battles: KINGDOMGame Director - Renaud CharpentierThe Total War for everyone, everywhere; this is TW redesigned as a mobile, cross-platform game for Tablets, phones and Mac and PC. The team behind the award-winning 2012’s Total War Battles: SHOGUN is currently Open Beta testing this free to play follow-up that combines persistent world realm-building with quick-fire tactical battles. You can try it out yourself on PC, by downloading it from Steam now. We are currently getting the game ready for a full release on all platforms and we will let you know more soon.

Historical Team – Unannounced Total War TitleGame Director - Janos GasparThis team most recently released Total War: ATTILA in February 2015, which went on to become our best-selling ever follow-up title. Since that game was finalised for manufacture at the end of 2014, they’ve primarily been in the early pre-production stages of our next historically-based major release. That involves planning, scheduling and researching the period, art styles and technology we want to put into the game. They’ve recently started prototyping some feature ideas and that will be the next stage of development that will keep them busy for now. It will be some time before we reveal this title. It will be huge, it will be historic. It will not be soon. It is not worth asking any more questions about it

New Content Team – Total War: ATTILA Content (Slavic Nations)Game Director - Jack LustedAfter a very busy couple of years making content for ROME II and ATTILA, and having most recently released Age of Charlemagne, the New Content team is just finishing work on the latest ATTILA DLC and Free-LC, which will be released soon (you’ll also be able to win the DLC for free if we win this year’s Make War Not Love event). As they finish up over the next week the team is moving on to support WARHAMMER DLC and Free content, which includes Chaos Warriors, Wurrzag and a host of stuff we’ve yet to announce.

Warhammer Team –Total War: WARHAMMERGame Director - Ian RoxburghThe fantasy Total War, based on the legendary table-top wargame from Games Workshop. Having been in production since 2012, this team is working ferociously on last few months of work as the first game in the trilogy gets ready for manufacture and stamping onto discs. There’s also a lot of excitement in the team at the moment as we get ready for the next round of press and community impressions as previews and, of course, reviews get closer and closer…

Obviously, we can’t say too much about forthcoming titles before we are ready, but let us know if you find this useful; we will update it with the latest info as and when we can.
